"yoda bust sideshow" worth it?

[TURINS~BANE]

Hi, just wondering what peoples opinions are on the Sideshow Yoda bust?
Its looks a stunning collectible from the pics. Some people say the eyes dont look authentic is this true.?

Thanks...

If you get within about a foot and a half you can see that the eyes are decals, but at the standard display distance they look fine to me; it is a worthwhile purchase IMO.

It's my only 1:1 piece and I love it... definitely a very cool item. And like LOTRFan said... the eyes only look odd when you are right up on it. But in general he looks great.

I would try to get him less than retail (I paid about $400 shipped for mine) but even at retail I think he's worth it.

He looks a bit shiney

Yoda looking up at your nice collection... it does look a bit shiney but that's probably the camera.

I like mine quite a bit. Although right now he has on a polo hat to the side and oakley sunglasses...

It looks just like it came off the screen except the eyes if you get really close. They should have used marble eyes rather than painted. Im not sure when SS will catch on to that but def worth retail. I think i got mine for $300 shipped on the bay.

I definitely like mine--he's very likely the only 1:1 piece I'll ever own, and I'm happy with him. The eyes aren't as good as the prototype I saw at SDCC that convinced me to preorder, but again--from the proper distance it looks just fine.

Doesn't look too shiny in person... but I guess I've never been up close to Yoda in real life

What's fun is that he has a rubbery coating so the ears are flexible and he feels like he has skin.

dont like it..they should have charge 100$ more and made him feet.

 

[King Darkness]

I would get one, but I would be far to tempted to have relations with it

One of my favorite 1:1 SW pieces.

Yoda looks cross eyed in some of those. Ok, so it doesnt look 30+ years old and muppet rubber. But you have to admit it looks pretty good compared to any others that have been made in any edition size by companies in the last 20 years. I remember the illusive concepts version...lol!

 

[lightwave000]

They definitely should have gone with marble eyes

 

[moonlightdrive21]

Gino, totally awesome!!! Which one is this? Can it be bought or is it a custom job?

As for the Sideshow one, a great piece, but in my opinion extremely over priced (Sideshow's new motto) and therefore not worth the money.

 

[Gino]

Unfortunately, just a custom made by me and a friend.
Then again, we were never asked by any licensed companies so there you have it.

Your kidding! You made this? Wow, my hat is off to you sir. It looks like it came out of the lucasfilm archives!

How much you want????

 

[Gino]

Wow thanks!
